HC Deb 20 February 1963 vol 672 c58W
47. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Air why delay has occurred in the sale of Chalgrove airfield; and whether it has now been sold.

Mr. H. Fraser

The sale of Chalgrove airfield has not yet been completed because the Martin Baker Company wish to wait until my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport has made orders closing certain roads and footpaths.

48. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will publish the terms of the written undertaking given to him by Martin Baker Aircraft Limited that they will offer the land at Chalgrove airfield back to the former owners for agricultural purposes at the market price then ruling when their present use of the land comes to an end.

Mr. H. Fraser

This undertaking was not sought with a view to publication and I cannot add to the answer which I gave my hon. Friend on 5th December, 1962.
